  6. "The weakening of public schools and the devaluing of teachers and the dismissal of the Liberal Arts are part of a deliberate effort to reshape America into a place where fewer people can think critically or organize collectively or question the power of those in power."

  7. In spite of bigoted colleagues, I've loved all my teaching experiences--bible school, public school, and theater education. I hope someday gay people are openly accepted in this profession.

  8. #Maine Law Firm Tells #PublicSchools to #ResistICE Enforcement by Destroying #Immigration Records

    By Steve Robinson January 26, 2025

    "A leading progressive law firm in Maine is advising public school officials on how they can effectively resist potential immigration enforcement actions that may involve the families of minors who attend government-run schools, including by destroying evidence of potential immigration crimes.

    "The advice may place school officials in the legal crosshairs of the Trump Administration under a new policy advisory distributed by the U.S. Department of Justice, which warns state and local officials not to interfere with federal law enforcement activities.

    "'[S]chool officials should generate a plan for what to do if immigration officials seek to conduct activities at school, and provide appropriate training to those who may come in contact with officials,' law firm Drummond Woodsum warned in an 'Immigration Client Alert' distributed on Jan. 21.

    "A copy of that advisory email was obtained by the Maine Wire and is published [at the link] in full.

    "The memo advises clients who may have evidence that a student and that student’s parents or guardians are not U.S. citizens or are present in the U.S. without authorization.

    "According to Drummond Woodsum, school officials should destroy those records or stop collecting them so as to #obstruct or prevent federal immigration officials from enforcing American immigration law.

    "Schools may have collected data on students’ #USCitizenship, #nationality, #CountryOfBirth, #USEntryDate, the date a student first attended school, or the #ImmigrationStatus of the student or their parents or guardians, the memo states.

    “'[T]his information should not be stored as part of a students education record and should be destroyed as soon as it is no longer needed,' the memo states."

  9. A list of up to 21 Seattle schools are slated for potential closure.

    I'm getting word from activists at the school meeting that a crush of interested parents, students and activist are present.

    Most can't even fit in the building. The meeting hasn't started yet but security is threatening the crowd due to anti-closure chants they want to stop.

  10. #DearPrincipal Altschul,

    On the day before Sukkot break, my children came home with a flier for a community sukkah hop sponsored by Abulafia Elementary.

    This isn't the first year we've received such a flier, and each year my children beg to participate.

    I don't think it's appropriate for #PublicSchools to be sponsoring events for #religious #holidays.

    I am tired of explaining to my kids that we don't build a #sukkah because #Sukkot is a #Jewish #holiday and we aren't Jewish.

  11. apnews.com/article/ohio-educat #OhioFascism Overhaul of Ohio’s K-12 education system is unconstitutional, new lawsuit says

    "The overhaul is a prime example of the broader movement by extremist-controlled governors’ mansions and legislatures to deprive communities of meaningful representation. In Ohio, these actions are contrary to more than seven decades of non-partisan control by directly elected representatives,”  #PublicSchools #FascistMikeDeWine #Education #MAGArepublicanExtremists
